Chapman/Dial

(August 16, 1986-September 29, 1990)

Nicknames: "The Ostrich", "OH NO!", "Civil Defense Ostrich"

Logo: On a city skyline at night, a cartoon ostrich with blue feathers and wearing an army helmet is seen as it briefly looking at us before searchlights appear in the background and the ostrich looks at them. The ostrich then says "OH NO!" before putting his head into the ground and a blue metallic Civil Defense logo circle drops down from the sky, shaking the entire screen. The circle has a white triangle and inside the triangle is the red letters "CD" (standing for "civil defense"). At the beginning, "CHAPMAN/DIAL" in white fades in below.

FX/SFX: The ostrich, and the Civil Defense logo falling down.

Variant: The last episode of E.A.R.T.H. Force that aired has "in association with" fading in below the company name.

Music/Sounds: An air raid siren is heard when the searchlights appear, the ostrich saying his line, and then a "CRASH!" is heard when the Civil Defense circle drops down.

Availability: Extremely rare. It's seen on the failed ABC pilot, The Rowdies and the short-lived CBS series E.A.R.T.H. Force.

Editor's Note: The Civil Defense logo dropping down so suddenly and the siren may scare some, but it's a funny logo.
